The Dairy Calf & Heifer Association (DCHA) is pleased to announce the Intervet/Schering-Plough Leadership Program, created in order to help mold the next generation of industry leaders.
“The DCHA Young Leaders program plays a vital role in the continued growth and success of the organization and development of future leaders,” says Bob Patrick, DCHA First Vice President. “Individuals that participate in the program are exposed to the workings of DCHA and learn valuable skills that should bode well for future involvement with the organization at the committee and board levels.”
The 2010 Leadership Class participants are: Katie Carpenter, Plato Brook Farms, Arcade, N.Y.; Jeff Cornwell, Clover Ridge Dairy, Lawndale, N.C.; Amy Shiplett, Bon-Home Livestock, Chilton, Wis.; Alan Vander Horst, Vander Horst Dairies of Texas, Dublin, Texas; Case Vlot, Vlot Brothers Calf Ranch, Chowchilla, Calif; and Roy Williams, Midland, Texas.
The DCHA Leadership Development Program, sponsored by Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health, will bring the leadership class together with DCHA board members during the 2010 Dairy Calf & Heifer Conference in Lexington, Ky., March 23-25. Participants will have the opportunity to develop skills to manage hot button issues, media training and member development training.
